Movie and now Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Nintendo is clearly building something BIG on the big screen.In today’s video, I’m breaking down 10 Nintendo games that NEED movie adaptations, whether it’s for their storytelling, world-building, or just how perfect they’d be for a cinematic experience.From iconic franchises like The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, and Star Fox, to some more unexpected picks, these are the games I think Nintendo should prioritize next as they expand their movie universe.In this video, I cover:🎮 10 Nintendo games that would make amazing movies🎮 Why each one works as a film🎮 The potential tone, story, and style🎮 My vision for Nintendo’s cinematic futureWith Nintendo teaming up with studios like Illumination, the possibilities are endless — and if Mario is just the beginning, we could be looking at a full-blown Nintendo Cinematic Universe.Which Nintendo game do YOU want to see turned into a movie next?

Zach reviews The Drama, the latest A24 film from director Kristoffer Borgli starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson. What starts as a seemingly typical romantic story quickly turns into something far more unsettling and bizarre. Zach breaks down the film’s shocking twist, its deconstruction of the rom-com genre, and why — despite being a total WTF experience — it ended up being one of his most fascinating watches of the year.

The Mario universe expands to the stars in the Super Mario Galaxy Movie—but does this sequel truly evolve the franchise, or does it play things a little too safe?In this review, I break down my full thoughts on the latest Nintendo/Illumination adventure, starring Chris Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, and Jack Black returning as Bowser. With the introduction of fan-favorite characters like Rosalina and the Lumas, the film takes us into the cosmic world inspired by the beloved Super Mario Galaxy games.Visually, the Super Mario Galaxy Movie is absolutely stunning—bringing vibrant galaxies, gravity-defying worlds, and nostalgic elements from the games to life in a BIG way. The humor lands, the energy is high, and it’s undeniably a FUN time at the movies.However… while I enjoyed the ride, I couldn’t help but feel like the film holds back in key areas. The story plays things a bit too familiar, certain characters feel underdeveloped, and some of the emotional or narrative depth I was hoping for just isn’t fully explored. This is a movie that delivers entertainment—but doesn’t quite reach the next level it could have.Is the Super Mario Galaxy Movie a worthy follow-up to The Super Mario Bros. Movie? Or is it a missed opportunity to truly push the franchise forward?

They Will Kill You is one of the most INSANE and blood-soaked rides of the year… and I had an absolute blast with it.

From its brutal action sequences to its unhinged horror elements, this movie knows exactly what it wants to be and fully commits.If you're a fan of high-energy revenge flicks and horror that doesn’t hold back, this might be right up your alley.🎥 What did YOU think of They Will Kill You?

Zach reviews Ready or Not: Here I Come, the long-awaited sequel to the 2019 horror hit.

Zach breaks down what works, what falls short, and why this sequel ends up being good — but ultimately a bit disappointing.

In this episode, Zach reviews Reminders of Him, the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel. While the movie definitely leans into the cliché and cheesy side of romantic dramas, it ends up being one of the better Colleen Hoover adaptations so far. Zach breaks down the performances, emotional moments that had the audience reacting in big ways, and why these adaptations are starting to feel like the modern-day equivalent of Nicholas Sparks movies.

I break down what makes the film so unsettling, why its approach to horror works so well, and whether it stands among the stronger horror releases of the year.

Starring Ryan Gosling and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the movie blends huge sci-fi ideas with emotional storytelling and humor.

I rank every original Pixar movie from worst to best, focusing only on Pixar’s original storytelling and leaving out the sequels. From the groundbreaking success of Toy Story to emotional masterpieces like Coco and Soul, and the studio’s newest originals like Elio and Hoppers, Pixar has consistently pushed the boundaries of animation and storytelling. I break down which films still stand as Pixar’s greatest achievements and which ones fall lower on the list.

I’m reviewing The Bride!, Maggie Gyllenhaal’s bold new reimagining of the Bride of Frankenstein. With a stacked cast including Jessie Buckley, Christian Bale, Annette Bening, Penélope Cruz, Peter Sarsgaard, and Jake Gyllenhaal, the film has so much going for it. But even with standout performances and a daring concept, the story often feels unfocused and the movie doesn’t quite come together the way it should. I break down where it shines, where it stumbles, and why this bold movie left me intrigued but somewhat let down.

I review Hoppers, Pixar’s original 2026 animated sci-fi adventure directed by Daniel Chong. The film follows Mabel, a young animal lover, whose consciousness is transferred into a stylish robotic beaver so she can talk to animals and explore their world. With standout voice work from Piper Curda, Bobby Moynihan, Jon Hamm, Kathy Najimy, Dave Franco, and Meryl Streep, Hoppers blends humor, heart, and imaginative storytelling in a way that feels like Pixar at its absolute best. I break down the animation, characters, themes, and why this one feels like a perfect Pixar movie for the 2020s.

In this episode of Pope’s Press Play, I rank all ten 2026 Oscar Best Picture nominees from least to most deserving.

I break down why this movie works, what surprised me, and how it stacks up against A24’s recent hits.If you’ve watched the film, send in your thoughts — and let’s talk all things movies, TV, and pop culture!

In this episode, I review Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, Gore Verbinski’s audacious new sci-fi film starring Sam Rockwell, Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, Zazie Beetz, and more. Part action adventure, part dark comedy, and deeply reflective on the role of technology in our lives, this movie blew me away — and I explain why I think it could be the most important science-fiction film of the decade.

In this episode, I review The Moment, the new 2026 mockumentary starring Charli XCX and directed by Aidan Zamiri.

In this episode, I review Shelter — the 2026 Ric Roman Waugh-directed action thriller starring Jason Statham. Unlike typical blockbuster fare, Shelter leans into character, regret, and emotional survival stakes as a reclusive man is forced back into danger after rescuing a young girl. I break down why the film works, why I think it’s the first certified “dad film” of 2026, and what sets it apart from Statham’s other action work.

Exclusive interview with Ric Roman Waugh — director of Shelter and visionary behind films like Snitch, Shot Caller, Angel Has Fallen, and Greenland.In this in-depth conversation, I sit down with Ric Roman Waugh, the director of the brand-new Jason Statham action thriller Shelter (in theaters January 30, 2026), to talk about his entire career, his evolution as a filmmaker, and what shaped his creative voice.Ric started his career as a stunt performer before transitioning to writing and directing — bringing a grounded, visceral feel to his action films. Over the years he’s built an eclectic filmography that includes gritty character dramas like Snitch (2013) and Shot Caller (2017), massive action franchises like Angel Has Fallen (2019), and disaster epics like Greenland (2020).In Shelter, Ric takes a more emotional, character-focused approach to action, blending intense physical sequences with authentic performances — something he attributes to his background and philosophy of placing viewers “inside the action.” This is the second episode of Flicks and Friends!We break down:🔥 How his stunt roots influence his directing🎥 Why character matters in big action films💥 What he learned from each major project in his career📽️ What Shelter was like to shoot and what’s coming nextWatch the full interview and let me know: Which Ric Roman Waugh movie is your favorite?

Wonder Man is actually pretty good — and easily one of the most unique MCU shows yet.Marvel Studios’ Wonder Man takes a wildly different approach to the MCU, blending superhero storytelling with Hollywood satire in a way that feels like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood meets Atlanta or Barry. And honestly? It works.In this review, I break down why Wonder Man surprised me, from its sharp writing and offbeat tone to its character-driven storytelling and industry commentary. This series feels smaller, stranger, and more confident than recent MCU projects—focused less on world-ending stakes and more on identity, fame, and performance.I dive into the performances, humor, themes, direction, and how Wonder Man fits into the larger MCU. It’s not perfect, but it’s fresh, creative, and proof that Marvel can still take risks when it wants to.Watch my full review and let me know if Wonder Man worked for you!

I LOVED BUGONIAFrom director Yorgos Lanthimos (The Favourite, Poor Things) comes Bugonia, a darkly satirical sci-fi thriller starring Emma Stone as Michelle Fuller, CEO of a major pharmaceutical company abducted by conspiracy-obsessed men who believe she’s an alien intent on destroying humanity. Having seen it early, I found Bugonia to be fascinating — a film that’s weird, unsettling, and absolutely alive with ideas. The performances are top-tier (Stone and Jesse Plemons in particular), the style is bold, and the satire cuts deeper than many give it credit for. Reviews say it’s “whip-smart,” “intoxicating,” and a reflection of our conspiracy-driven age.This is My movie review of BUGONIA

Star Wars: Visions Season 3 ReviewFrom Lucasfilm and Disney+, Star Wars: Visions returns with Season 3 (Volume 3), launching on October 29, 2025.

If I Had Legs I’d Kick You Movie Review From writer/director Mary Bronstein and starring Rose Byrne, Conan O'Brien, Danielle Macdonald, and A$AP Rocky. DIRECTOR: Mary BronsteinCAST: Rose Byrne, Conan O'Brien, Danielle Macdonald, and A$AP RockyIf I Had Legs I’d Kick You is a film that grabs you by the throat and refuses to let go — a judgmental, funny, and sometimes painful look at revenge, identity, and the messiness of human relationships. The movie balances sharp dark-comedy moments with uncomfortable emotional beats, creating an experience that’s as thrilling as it is unsettling.In this review I dive into what makes this film work: the fearless direction, the committed performances, and those moments of startling honesty. I also break down where the movie stumbles — pacing choices that undercut the drama, tonal swings that won’t be for everyone, and a finale that some viewers may find divisive.If you like films that push boundaries, make you squirm, and stick in your head long after the credits roll, this review is for you.

IT: Welcome to Derry Episode 1-5 Non Spoiler reviewFrom showrunners Andy Muschietti & Barbara Muschietti (who helmed the original IT films) comes IT: Welcome to Derry, a chilling prequel series set in 1962 that expands the mythology of the town of Derry and the evil lurking beneath its surface. Having seen the first five episodes early, I found the series to be solid and worth recommending — it may not reinvent the wheel, but it delivers enough tension, lore, and creepy atmosphere to make fans of the films sit up and take notice.If you enjoyed IT (2017) and IT Chapter Two, you’ll appreciate the callbacks, the new characters, and the promise of deeper scares to come. In this review, I’ll walk you through what works—not spoiling anything—why the series hits early, and what it still needs to prove.

Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere Movie Review From writer-director Scott Cooper comes Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, a biographical drama chronicling the making of Bruce Springsteen’s 1982 album Nebraska and the personal struggles behind the legend. The film stars Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen, with a supporting cast including Jeremy Strong, Paul Walter Hauser, and Stephen Graham. I found Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere to be a solid film — it doesn’t reinvent the biopic format, but its strengths lie in its lead actor. Jeremy Allen White delivers an incredible, transformative performance as Springsteen, fully inhabiting the role and delivering the emotional core of the movie.The narrative is competent and the production values are high, but the film sometimes falls into familiar biopic pitfalls — pacing issues, conventional structure, and moments where the film plays it safe. Despite that, the power of White’s portrayal elevates the whole experience and makes it worth recommending.In this review, I break down Jeremy Allen White’s performance, what the film gets right, where it could have pushed harder, and why I still recommend it — especially for fans of Springsteen or quality actor-driven dramas.

Frankenstein Netflix Movie Review — Guillermo del Toro's gothic masterpiece in theaters now on Netflix in NovemberFrom writer-director Guillermo del Toro comes Frankenstein (2025), a long-cherished passion project based on Mary Shelley’s classic. Starring Oscar Isaac as a tortured Victor Frankenstein, Jacob Elordi as the creature, and Mia Goth, Frankenstein delivers lush production design, tragic grandeur, and a story steeped in gothic horror and emotional depth. I found it to be a gothic masterpiece — one of the most visually arresting, emotionally resonant takes on Shelley’s novel in recent memory. Between Isaac’s conflicted scientist, Elordi’s monster finding sorrow in his creation, and Del Toro’s signature blend of beauty and darkness, this film doesn’t just adapt the story — it elevates it. In this review, I dive into what makes Frankenstein shine so bright as the definitive Frankenstein storyDon’t forget to LIKE the video, SUBSCRIBE for more reviews, and share your thoughts in the comments: Do you think this is Del Toro’s best film yet?

Shelby Oaks Movie Review — A Near Perfect Debut from Chris StuckmannFrom writer-director Chris Stuckmann comes Shelby Oaks, a haunting exploration of loss, fear, and the supernatural that marks one of the most impressive horror debuts in years. Starring Camille Sullivan, Brendan Sexton III, and Keith David, the film follows a woman searching for her missing sister — one of the members of a paranormal investigation group known as The Paranormal Paranoids — as eerie footage and real-life horror begin to collide.I found Shelby Oaks to be a perfect horror debut — the kind that doesn’t just scare you, it stays with you. Stuckmann crafts an atmosphere thick with dread, mixing psychological terror, found-footage tension, and a deeply human story about grief and guilt.The movie truly got under my skin, evoking the unnerving realism of The Blair Witch Project and the existential unease of Signs. Every frame feels purposeful — from its chilling sound design to the way the camera lingers just long enough to make you doubt what you’re seeing.In this review, I break down what makes Shelby Oaks such a powerful debut, how Stuckmann balances emotion and fear, and why this might be one of the most effective horror films of the year.
